Hi Wim,

Yes, I had copied it to cut down the kb somewhat. Do you know anything

about the original? Like where it is? Even the background is so

beautiful.

I'm sorry for not answering your past messages, tho Gabriele has done

far better than I could have at handling the siddhas issue, anyway. I

can honestly say I have been rather busy with family and Christmas. We

drove my son back to Baltimore and stayed over to spend a day at the

museum seeing fantastic art, very like this you pictured, from India,

Nepal, and Tibet. My son just moved there a couple months ago to take

a job with the National Federation for the Blind, and I am so happy

he is at last working where his handicap is given such understanding

support. We had an especially happy Christmas here, as my middle son

became engaged to a delightful young woman. And yesterday we had a

second Chritmas, visiting my brother's family in Gettysburg.

Peace to all,

Gloria

All paths go

somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions,

and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back

into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of

Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It

is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the

Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of

Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.

G - L - O - R - I - A,

 

are

you

ever

making

my day...

my year ...

my century...

my millennium...

>>> An amazing 500 buddha statues altogether! <<<

http://www.otterbein.edu/dept/RELG/sanjusangendo.htm

 

Thank you!!!

 

500 buddhas... and all about one...

6 billion people plus... and all about one...

The ten thousand things to the power of infinity... and all about one...

 

And on top of that, Gloria, just today I went into old town Victoria and in

a small bazaar like store, I bought 7 of those miniature brass buddhas....

as if one was not enough... :-) I hugged the man... he gave me a picture of

Krishna... I hugged him some more. He gave me a poster of the Holy Spirit...

and we hugged and hugged and hugged some more... Then a lady gave me a

picture of Jesus in lotus position and we smiled and laughed and laughed

some more... and there was dancing in the street...

 

Happy 2002=2(1001)=2(form is emptiness emptiness is form)

 

Love, Wim...

In spite of all one seems to want, love is all one gets.

Shining through all one apparently is, love is all this is.
